Profile[]
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance[]
"Younger sister of Iwanaga-hime.
Her name means "a woman who blooms and flourishes like a cherry blossom." She is considered one of the most beautiful of Japan's myriad gods. She fell in love with Ninigi of the Amatsukami and became his wife. After she became pregnant in just one night, he questioned whether the child was truly his, and therefore godly. As proof that the child was of the Amatsukami, she barricaded herself in a birthing-house and set it on fire, then successfully gave birth. Originally, she is said to have been a god who governed water. However, this legacy of giving birth in a fire earned her regard as the goddess of volcanoes, and she is identified with the volcano spirit Asama no Okami."
—Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance lore
Konohana Sakuya appears as a demon in the Shin Megami Tensei series for the first time in nearly two decades, appearing as the focal character of a DLC Quest for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, "Sakura Cinders of the East".
Persona 4[]
"Daughter of a mountain-god, Konohana Sakuya is the flower goddess who, in some ways, represents the entire Japanese ideal of life. Her symbol is the sakura, a flower that blooms brilliantly and dies ignominiously within three days, and an enduring Japanese metaphor for fleeting human life. When her husband, the sea-god Ninigi, once doubted her fidelity toward him, she locked herself in a hut and set it ablaze, swearing her children would only be able to survive if they were truly Ninigi's own."
—Konohana Sakuya's profile in Persona 4: The Official Strategy Guide
Konohana Sakuya is the initial Persona of Yukiko Amagi. After being allegedly kidnapped by Inaba's serial murderer and thrown into the TV World, Yukiko's Shadow appears on the Midnight Channel, dressed as a princess and venturing inside a large castle in search of "scoring a hot stud." The protagonist, Yosuke Hanamura and Chie Satonaka proceed to traverse the castle to the top floor and confront Yukiko's Shadow.
The Shadow, being Yukiko's repressed, hidden feelings, reveals to the Investigation Team that, as the heir to the famous Amagi Inn, Yukiko feels trapped in her surroundings. After absorbing nearby Shadows, Shadow Yukiko takes on the form of a large bird in a cage, symbolizing Yukiko's true feelings. Upon defeat, Yukiko faces and accepts her Shadow, who becomes the Persona Konohana Sakuya.
Konohana Sakuya is the group's first primary healer, learning many healing skills early on. Konohana Sakuya also uses powerful Fire magic, and is the group's primary Fire spell-caster.
Persona 4: Dancing All Night[]
After completing a song, Konohana Sakuya is summoned to play the saxophone.
Tokyo Revelation[]
Saki Yagami is the reincarnation of Konohana Sakuya. Thanks to this, she is overflowing with magnetite which makes her desirable to demons who wish to summon their masters. After Gagyson sacrifices her to Ose, Akito Kobayashi later attempts to reincarnate Saki into her true form in order to stop the flow of magnetite flowing to Ose in the final battle. To finish the ritual, Akito sacrifices his own life and fuses it with Saki's to revive her, which results in him becoming one with the goddess in the process. Her mere presence at the end allows trees to fill with cherry blossoms and Masakado's violent spirit to rest.
